Flip flopping Mitt Romney seems to have a little momentum in the early states (he tanks nationally), and Sen. Clinton has to like that.
Rodham Clinton holds a four-point edge over former New York City mayor
Rudy Giuliani, a nine-point lead over Arizona senator John McCain, a
16-point advantage over actor and former Tennessee senator Fred
Thompson, and an 18-point lead over former Massachusetts governor Mitt
Romney.
Of course, if Mitt Romney’s supporters just wait until 2010, he’ll have the same positions as Sen. Clinton.
Name recognition for Romney is keeping his national numbers lower, however, even if areas where he’s known the most, (Iowa, Mass, etc.), he is the weakest of the top four Republican candidates.
Also, Clinton will be able to hammer him on ‘flip-flopping’ and that will give an excuse for evangelical Christians to dump him over his Mormonism.
Yeah everyone tries to make it out like Hillary is the big flip flopper. Guess what? Mitt Romney has everyone beat when it comes to this. He should open up a store selling flip flops, and sadly, people will wait in line to buy them.
If anyone questions Hillary’s ability to get America back on track, then I will question their sanity. You can count on it.
Here is the difference between Romney and Hillary:
Romney previously held some positions, but now, in some areas, holds different positions.
Hillary holds all possible positions at the same time, depending on who she is talking to and what they want to hear.
Huh?
You said in areas where he is well known, “Iowa, Mass, etc”
First of all, Romney is leading in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other states, particularly the first two being very important primary states.
Secondly, Mass is 80+% Democrat voters so even though he was governor, chances of him carrying the state are slim.
No one is as polarizing as Hillary. 50% of people polled say they absolutely positively will not vote for her.
Besides, she has no experience and she’s a two faced cyborg. Everyone knows that.

Against Republicans he is leading, but in the general election match-ups, he performs poorly, more so than the other top names on the Republican field.
I have no doubt he would make up some of the ground, but he has less chance of winning the White House than McCain, Giuliani, or Thompson.
“No one is as polarizing as Hillary. 50% of people polled say they absolutely positively will not vote for her.”
Don’t trust that poll. The questions given by Zogby were leading, which is part of a pattern for them.
In fact, most similar polls done by other companies show Clinton has the best net popularity. (The number of people who will definitely vote for her – the number of people who will definitely vote against her.)
“Besides, she has no experience and she’s a two faced cyborg. Everyone knows that.”
Everyone, or are you just projecting? Number indicate the latter is more likely.
